With a rapid increase in the global human population in recent years, the Earth is in dire need of alternative energy sources. The objective of this paper is to assess the feasibility of implementing piezoelectricity as a primary source of renewable energy. Specifically, this paper looks at its consequent impact if introduced in 3 fundamental areas of implementation: bus tires, train tracks and railway stations. Each of these areas provide input elements at scale to generate electricity and are simple to implement, maintain and measure through government support. This paper limits the data to the city of Cairo, Egypt. Being low cost as well, the three areas come close to an ideal situation from an economic standpoint. Predictive algorithms and existing data are used to evaluate the consequent change in global green-house emissions and other environmental parameters, had piezoelectricity been previously implemented. The results of the equations show that there would be improved environmental conditions - thus, a net positive impact - that switching to piezoelectricity would have had on the atmosphere and environment. The predictions stay true, provided that the efficiency of the piezoelectric crystal remains constant- an outcome which serves to boost output and lower greenhouse emissions
